Fruit and Veg from France

French carrots are in season, so it's the perfect time to celebrate their sweet, earthy flavour in a cosy dish. Inspired by the traditional Crécy soup, this creamy carrot soup is thickened with a bit of rice for a velvety and hearty texture. Perfect for autumn, it also makes a fun Halloween dish: its bright orange color recalls pumpkins, and its smooth surface is ideal for drawing spiderweb patterns with cream, topped with a little black olive spider for a spooky yet playful touch.
